Survey Released in Conjunction with Baby Boomers Guide to Find New Careers
WHAT: Teleconference to release new MetLife Foundation/Civic Ventures New Face of Work survey of 1,000 Americans age 50 to 70, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International.
The survey release will coincide with the release of a free online 16-page guide (produced by Civic Ventures, funded by MetLife Foundation) designed to help boomers think about new careers — whether full or part time — in the second half of life.

The MetLife Foundation/Civic Ventures New Face of Work Survey is the first survey to ask those in their 50s (baby boomers) and 60s (pre-boomers) what type of work they aspire to, what they want to accomplish through this work, and why they want to do it.
